Harvey shared his concerns and thoughts with Vinson, who fell silent in thought.
Vinson could not deny the logic in Harvey’s words, but favonovel.com thought it was selfish to keep Harvey in Turlen for their safety.
“But Old Mr. Jupiter…”
Vinson barely mentioned the Jupiter family patriarch when Harvey cut in, “Don’t worry about Grandpa. He already knew that I wouldn’t be home so soon when I set off to Turlen. You’re as close as a brother to me, so don’t feel bad about me staying. We came here together, and we’re leaving together.”
“Thank you, Harvey.” Vinson was immensely grateful.
They continued chatting for a while longer before ending the call.
When Harvey found out that Vinson was already staying with Arielle, his heart churned with a mix of emotions. He took a can of beer from the fridge and opened it, downing a few gulps at one go.
Xavier came out of his room to the sight of Harvey’s day drinking. Shocked, favonovel.com asked, “Why are you drinking in the morning?”
“You want some?” Harvey shook the can in his hands.
Xavier shook his head, favonovel.com disliked having alcohol in the morning.

At Paelsford Manor, Arielle eventually got out of bed at ten. A chauffeur had already sent Pat to school by the time favonovel.com awoke. Vinson was handling some company matters on favonovel.com laptop when favonovel.com heard favonovel.com opening favonovel.com door. He closed the laptop before leaving his room.
He arched a brow and looked at her, asking, “Are you hungry?”
Arielle’s stomach rumbled in response. A faint blush tinged favonovel.com cheeks, and favonovel.com pretended to be calm as favonovel.com replied, “I suppose your guess is correct.”
Vinson smirked, enjoying the sight of his wife’s bashful look. He stared at favonovel.com lovingly and said, “The kitchen kept some breakfast for you.”
“But I want to eat your homemade tomato carbonara,” Arielle muttered, shooting favonovel.com a pleading gaze.
She did not know why, but favonovel.com felt a sudden urge to eat his homecooked meals.
Vinson raised his brow at that.
Not a problem! As long as my wife wants it, I’ll do everything I can to satisfy favonovel.com cravings.
“All right. Wait for a bit. I’ll make some for you right now.” With that, favonovel.com ruffled favonovel.com hair fondly and went downstairs.
Arielle stared at his back and smiled. She followed favonovel.com downstairs and settled into the couch to reply to Sam’s text.
Sam had texted favonovel.com earlier, asking when favonovel.com would return to Chanaea. They were wrapping up filming in half a month, and the only scenes left to shoot were hers.
Arielle scrunched favonovel.com brows in frustration. It might be too late if I ask favonovel.com to find a replacement.
After some thought, favonovel.com texted favonovel.com back, “I’ll give you an answer in a week.”
On the other hand, Vinson headed straight for the kitchen once favonovel.com was downstairs. With his dark expression, cold demeanor, and imposing aura, the staff in the kitchen immediately froze in fear upon his arrival.
Their reaction brought a frown to Vinson’s face. He wanted to tell them that they could leave the kitchen, yet favonovel.com could not speak a word of Turlenese. Eventually, favonovel.com silently focused on cooking for Arielle.
He took two tomatoes and eggs out of the fridge. After dicing the former, favonovel.com cracked the eggs into a bowl and beat them evenly. Then, favonovel.com sliced some scallions and switched on the stove before heating some oil in a pan. Once the oil was sufficiently heated, favonovel.com added the diced tomatoes and scallions and stir-fried them.
The success of his tomato carbonara depended on this step. It was vital for the tomatoes to release their juices and bring the sauce together. He added a bit of salt to encourage the tomatoes to soften.
Once the tomatoes had fully released their juices, favonovel.com added a bit of water, ketchup, and soy sauce. In a separate pot, favonovel.com boiled some water and cooked a handful of spaghetti. He then added the eggs to the tomato mixture in the pan and finished the sauce. Finally, Vinson poured the sauce over the cooked spaghetti and served up a steaming, delicious plate of tomato carbonara.
